Regain flood adaptation in rice through a 14-3-3 protein OsGF14h

Contemporary climatic stress seriously affects rice production. Unfortunately, long-term domestication and improvement modified the phytohormones network to achieve the production needs of cultivated rice, thus leading to a decrease in adaptation. Here, we identify a 14-3-3 protein-coding gene OsGF14h in weedy rice that confers anaerobic germination and anaerobic seedling development tolerance. OsGF14h acts as a signal switch to balance ABA signaling and GA biosynthesis by interacting with the transcription factors OsHOX3 and OsVP1, thereby boosting the seeding rate from 13.5% to 60.5% for anaerobic sensitive variety under flooded direct-seeded conditions. Meanwhile, OsGF14h co-inheritance with the Rc (red pericarp gene) promotes divergence between temperate japonica cultivated rice and temperate japonica weedy rice through artificial and natural selection. Our study retrieves a superior allele that has been lost during modern japonica rice improvement and provides a fine-tuning tool to improve flood adaptation for elite rice varieties.

Study description
Research sample Briefly describe the study. For quantitative data include treatment factors and interactions, design structure (e.g. factoria/，nested, 扣erarchical), nature and number of experimental units and replicates Describe the research sample (e.g. a group of tagged Passer domesticus, all Stenocereus thurberi within Organ Pipe Cactus National 、 No statistical methods were used to predetermine sample size. The GWAS panel in our research has a japonica background, and the approximate sample sizes were chosen to find the key agronomic trait genes according to research in the field (Yano et al., Nat Genet. 2016, 48(8) : 927-34).
No data was excluded from the analyses.
All experiments were performed with at least three independently replicates to ensure reproducibility across experiments. This information is shown in figure legends.
All samples were arranged randomly into experimental groups.
For molecular biology experiments, bias could not be introduced since samples were treated identically and collected randomly.Blind was not possible as the author who performed the experiment also analyzed the data. Investigation of agronomic traits, DNA sequencing and SNP calling were conducted without prior knowledge of the result, blind was not applied.
